N shaped (jack through) axle stands - where to find

[The Big G]

I saw these advertised online so where but can’t for the life of me find them again.

The are shaped like a letter “n.” The jack goes in the space underneath the n and it sits between the jack and jacking point. It raises with the jack, lock it off then lower the car. The car sits on the jack stand and the jack can then be removed. Only one point on the car is used for jacking and support.

Looked very useful for when I wanted to jack the car up and support it in the same place due to working on the suspension etc as it keeps everything nicely out of the way.

Hopefully someone else can remember these and point me in the right direction. It’s really annoying me not being able to find them!

Many thanks

Renn stand?

[The Big G]

Yup, those are the ones.

Searched with every key word I could think of but couldn't find them!

Thank you very much for letting me know how to find them. Will be very useful when working on cars other than the V8s. That has nice obvious chassis rails!

Just a shame that they are only sold in the USA. I'm going to enquire about postage costs and hopefully not get stung too badly by import taxes.



For those who may be interested

Just tried putting a order through, shipping is coming up at $155.22. OUCH!

That makes it a total of $404 or £290 ish before import tax. Getting rather expensive for just a pair of jack stands!

Guess I'll have to wait and see if they get a UK distributor. If anyone knows of any alternatives that may be a bit kinder to my wallet that are easier to get across here, then please let me know.

I saw something similar that used a bottle jack rather than the trolley jack - very different design but seemed to be doing a similar job. I imagine it would be straight forward to DIY something if you can weld. You might even be able to make it out of dead tree.

[The Big G]

Always wanted to learn to weld. It does look straight forward, cutting the metal wouldn’t be the issue. Not sure it’s the idea project to learn on though! Will have to keep on thinking.

[finishing touch]

Google motorbike scissor stand.

I have 4 of these, well similar, and can be used under chassis, under wheels, very versatile.

The ones I just found are 500kg and £46 each free post.


I have a Volvo Variomatic on mine at this very moment. There's a blast from the past.
